Volumes Of Peace And Never War Poem by Richard Ford Bunuel Whale Carnegie Edison Simon Hitchcock Welles Christ Antunes Rodriguez Kubrick

About a girl nick named America
on the 4th of July:

To explode in the night sky
and sparkle and descend
as dying embers, kept alive
by your starstruck face
as you turn and sway

an american flag earlier in the day...
To cheers and wonderment off camera
as you are isolated in frame,
not alone in spirits but united

like the 50 states we have all
made our home as immigrants
in the past built upon the hardships
and toil that built a nation

not of one but of many
who in spirit should these truths
to be self evident
that we as a world power

shall one day unite the world
as one and not as many
along the worldly divide
so much that even language

separate but upon a distant future
our lilt of speech
will speak volumes
like national anthems
of worldly peace and never war
